Not a very good analogy. Windows is well known as not being a free system in the first place so there is no expectation of it ever being freely downloadable whereas MeeGo is promoted as a (mostly at least) free system so there *is* some expectation that it can be downloaded without restriction. It's confusing and frustrating when seemingly arbituary parts of it can't be downloaded so, in this case, I stopped paying attention. Is there an ARM image, with associated source, that will run on a (for instance) Beagleboard available anywhere? --markc _______________________________________________ MeeGo-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.meego.com/listinfo/meego-dev
